COAT.

Original application filed June 3, 1925, Serial No, 34,639, Patent No.1,599,018, dated September '7, 1926.

Divided and this application filed December 4, 1925.

The present invention relates to coats of that style commonly worn bymen, and the subject matter has been divided from my application bearingSerial No. 34,639, filed June 3, 1925, patented September 7, 1926,aft-1,599,018.

The object of the present invention is to improve upon coats byproviding sleeves with reinforcing linings incorporated in the sleevesin a novel manner to produce strength and durability and allow thesleeves of the coat to be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds,

the invention resides in the details of construction as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing 2- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the coat embodyingmy invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse section through one of the sleeves, and

Figure 3 is a fragmentary plan view showin the inside of a portion ofthe coat.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the body of thecoat, as shown in the present example, includes the back section 5, andthe two side or front sections (3, which are faced at their edges in theusual manner as is indicated at 7 and 8. The sections 6 are attached tothe edges of the section by suitable seams 9. The sleeves 10 areattached to the body in the usual manner. Patch pockets 11 are sewed tothe outer surface of the sections 6, in the usual manner. Thus far itwill be seen that the coat is more or less of conventional construction.

Referring now particularly tomy improvements for reinforcing the coat,it will be seen that 13 represents two strips of rubberized material,which are applied to the inner surface of the sections 6 immediatelyunder the arm pits. These strips 13 are applied by stitching extendingadjacent its lower edge while its upper edge is folded and stitched inthe seam of the respective sleeve 10, as is indicated at 14.

A rubberized strip 15 is applied to 'the Serial No. 73,159.

inner surface of each section 6 so that its longitudinal edges aredisposed one above, and one below the upper end of the adjacent patchpockets 11, as is indicated to advantage in both Figures 1 and 3. Thisrubberized strip extends from the seam 9, to the stitching at the inneredge of the facing 7, and the end at the seam 9 is folded and sewed withthe hem, while the other end is sewed with the stitching 16 of thefacing 7. Stitching 17 attach the longitudinal edges of each strip toits respective sections 6.

With this coat it is preferable to use the well known sleeve liningwhich extends from the intermediate elbow portion of the sleeve downinto the cufl 18 of each sleeve. This lining, as is shown to advantagein Figure 2 extends circumferentially in the sleeve start-- ing from theseam 19, being tucked into the seam 20, and finally stitched as at 21 sothat the lining extends transversely over the major portion of the innerside of the sleeve and about half way transversely of the outer portionof the sleeve.

It is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of myimproved and novel reinforcing features will now be clearly understoodwithout a more detailed descrip tion thereof.

It is apparent that numerous changes in the details of construction, inthe sizes, in the materials, and in the combination and arrangement ofparts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope ofthe invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of itsadvantages.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is In a coat, asleeve comprising an inner piece, an outer piece, said pieces beingconnected together by seams, a strip of reinforcing lining in saidsleeve having one edge stitched in one seam and another edge stitched tothe outside piece, and an intermediate portion stitched in the otherseam.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

SAMUEL M. JOSEPH.
